Family Ties
from behind
a sword is thrust through my chest
my pain is indescribable
it is so great
I feel I have to share it to feel relief
I don't really look back to see
whom the sword is from
I just know whoever pokes this wound
Will surely feel the full wrath
of my pain
Finally something does
I smile cynically
What a fool
I grab the sword
And drag it onto their chest
Wait! It's still there
The sword on my chest
It just extended
onto the next person
We're in a circle of hurt people
It's getting wider
The origin is mostly money
Try our best we should
But..It's so hard to get out
If I could I would
